Nigerian Soldiers Arrested For Working As Spies For Boko Haram by chibecanglobal(m): 6:20am On Oct 30, 2014
Soldiers in Nigeria’s military may be
working as moles for Boko Haram,
giving the terrorist group vital
information about the military’s
strategies and tactics.
News site, AllAfrica.com, reports that
the nation’s military has arrested
those soldiers it suspected were
working as double agents for Boko
Haram.
“It was gathered that the alleged
moles among the soldiers leaked the
information on the deployment of
soldiers from Maimalari Barracks in
April this year to the terrorists,
which led to an ambush and killing
of so many soldiers of the 101
Battalion”, the news site explained.
Military commanders are putting the
pieces together and revisiting all the
incidents in which Boko Haram
succeeded because it might have
had intelligence about secret
operations.
For instance, a Nigerian fighter jet
was downed in early September and
Boko Haram said it shot it down.
Military officials suspect that a spy
told Boko Haram about the plane’s
departure plans.
A source, who preferred to speak on
condition of anonymity, explained to
AllAfrica.com that the initial
suspicion that there might be spies
lurking in Nigeria’s military caused a
lot of confusion and mistrust among
those in the higher ranks.
“The situation became so bad that
there was mutual suspicion among
fellow commanders, the brigade
headquarters and even the division
headquarters. But at last, the moles
were found out to be some of the
orderlies and aides of commanders”,
the source said.
“What they do is that after
operational briefings and troops take
off, these moles immediately pass on
the information through calls”, the
source continued.
The suspected soldiers will be
charged with criminal conspiracy and
possibly other crimes.
The Nigerian military is still
conducting investigations to flush
out more spies.

When will the president arrest the double agents he said are embedded inside his cabinet?? Instead of exposing these people and bringing upon them the fullness of the wrath of justice, he's rather shielding them by seeking secret trials for them!!

When the dust finally settles, Nigerians would be shocked what this man has done to them!!
